Official Hoops Coaching Search Thread - Welcome Danny Manning!!!

[dot com]

I just spoke to someone who's fam is about as close to the program as you can get. They said all sources are mum. Crazy.

Maybe Ron hasn't even lifted a phone yet. Deer in headlights. Will start a search "if he has to" when people start asking questions in May.

Well he was the starting PG on three NCAA tournament Ole Miss teams. OOOOOOOPPPPSS DARN THOSE FACTS

Haha, I meant as a coach. I forgot that he was a DONK point guard back in the day. His play probably made Archie Miller look athletic.

I propose bans for anyone who asks for digest info on this thread.

I though Nina Bzdelick hated The Dash yet she was here for 4 years ...or did she just grow to hate it because of the toxic b-ball atmosphere?

Hard to believe Shaka would turn us down primarily because of his wife....esp for the moolah being tossed at him.

 

[marquee moon]

How you feeling right about now, LK?

If Smart declines, and we don't immediately sign Howland, I will start to go into panic mode. I have this sinking feeling that Miller isn't going to be interested in our job.

Holy shit, just fucking look at the digest thread

I love when people get incensed on a message board. It reads so geeky.

 

[Biff Tannen]

FYI, I hate Winston too.

Sounds familiar....like for the past two years. If this is what kills the offer, Wellman needs to be fired. It was very common knowledge.

at the very least neg rep barrages

Perhaps Maya was holding out for Berkeley..

sigh

 

[demondeacs13]

Having a Bojangles two miles from campus has got to be a strong selling point here. The closest Bojangles to VCU is almost eight miles away.

When SND calls you a geek, it's time for a hard look in the mirror.

FWIW, Brad Stevens ended up with the Celtics, and I'm getting my master's at UCB starting in the fall. So Shaka to Cal fits the pattern.

 

[Why the Deac Not]

Ron Wellman alone in front...

If we sign Howland it's throwing our hands in the air. He is absolutely damaged goods.

What was common knowledge? What indication is there that she wants a "professorship"? She isn't in academia currently, correct?
As for the spread, we would be paying them millions, they can buy a house with that. One that they choose.
